Immature Story Of The Day #1: Kermit Butts Admits That He Helped Kill Samuel Boob
I know this story involves a murder and we should be mature enough to give it the gravitas it requires . . . but we're not made of stone: A man with the last name "Butts" was arrested for the murder of a man with the last name "Boob." I mean, COME ON.

Last year, 29-year-old Samuel Boob of Centre Hall, Pennsylvania, was shot and killed. The police discovered that he was murdered by a man named Ronald Heichel . . . who was having an affair with his wife, Miranda Boob.

This week, the police discovered that 26-year-old Kermit Butts knew about the murder plan. . . and offered to help Heichel dispose of the body for $5,000. He's been charged with felony aggravated assault and hindering apprehension.

FIVE DIRTY THINGS YOU TOUCH!

Ready to have the urge to wash your hands 400 times in the next six hours? Here's a list of the five surfaces we touch every day that are totally and completely ENGULFED in germs.

#1.) PUBLIC MAGAZINES. Magazines in waiting rooms, on airplanes, and at libraries get passed around through tons of people's unwashed hands. Plus, since they've got dry surfaces, bacteria like E. coli can survive on them for months.

#2.) OFFICE KEYBOARDS. Your keyboard generally has about five times more germs as a PUBLIC TOILET SEAT. The little gaps between the keys are the perfect place for bacteria to live and grow.

#3.) THE GYM. A study a few years back found bacteria that could cause the cold virus on 73% of weights and 51% of aerobic equipment at the gym. Wash your hands VIGOROUSLY after you work out.

#4.) SHOPPING CARTS. In 2006, a study by the University of Arizona found that two out of every three shopping cart handles were contaminated with FECAL BACTERIA.

#5.) SUBWAY POLES. Basically, any surface you touch on public transportation is completely covered in germs and bacteria. Of all the things on this list, these are the MOST infected surfaces of all

DUDE JUMPS 39 STORIES, AND LIVES!

Apparently, God has big plans for 22-year-old Thomas Magill of Manhattan, New York. Because that's the ONLY explanation for why he's alive today.

On Monday, Thomas jumped off a 39-story high rise in Manhattan. He fell more than 400 feet. By the time he was close to the ground he was falling at 126 miles-per-hour. And . . . HE SURVIVED.

A 40-year-old named Guy McCormack had just parked his wife's Dodge Charger right in front of the building. So Thomas didn't hit the pavement . . . he crashed through the back windshield of the Charger and landed in the backseat instead.

And thanks to the Charger, he didn't die. In fact, all things considered, he got out of there cheap . . . with only a broken leg, a shattered ankle and a collapsed lung. He's in critical condition, but it looks like he's going to pull through.

The police won't say for sure WHY Thomas jumped. Apparently, he had posted something on Facebook beforehand saying, quote, "I hate my life" . . . so it looks like it was a suicide attempt.

According to the "New York Post", Thomas is an aspiring actor and has been working at DKNY and Club Monaco stores to make ends meet.

STUPID VIDEO OF THE DAY
A 64-year-old man is suing the police department for Tasing him THREE TIMES in his OWN HOME in Marin County, California (--which is just north of San Francisco). And they did it even though his wife told them he had a heart condition.

Police were originally called after the guy fell on his front steps. But then the officers determined he might be suicidal . . . so they threatened to TASE him if he didn't come for a psychiatric evaluation.

Four Places Bedbugs Are Hiding

Earlier this month, the bed bug problem in New York City spread to the Empire State Building. And according to Terminix, New York is the most bed bug-infested city in the country . . . and Philadelphia, Detroit, Cincinnati, Chicago, and Denver are close behind.
And even if you DON'T live in a city, bedbugs are a very real problem. So don't bring them into your home by mistake. Here's a list from "SELF Magazine" of four places bedbugs might be hiding . . .

#1.) HOTEL ROOMS. Before you unpack, pull the sheets down and check the furniture. Bedbugs are small, but you CAN see them.

When they're young, they're about the size of a sesame seed. When they're full-grown, they're about the size of an apple seed. And if they've just feasted on your blood, they'll be bright red.

If you find them in your room, you should probably find a different hotel. But at the very least, ask for a new room, preferably on a different floor.

#2.) DRESSING ROOMS. When you undress, don't throw your clothes on the floor, and don't put them on the bench. Hang them on a HOOK instead. And if you buy something, avoid the urge to wear it before you wash it.

#3.) AT YOUR OFFICE. If one of your co-workers has bedbugs, all you can do is identify the problem as quickly as possible, and let someone know.

But "SELF Magazine" ALSO suggests buying a Dust Buster for your work area. Just make sure you're not vacuuming in the middle of the workday while people are making phone calls.

#4.) ON CRAIGSLIST. The only way to be safe is to not buy used furniture, especially bedding or anything upholstered.

Five Ways To Help Your Kids Do Well In School:o pressure here, but how your kids do in school influences their self-esteem, their future job prospects, and their financial success. And if you really want your kids to do well, you can't just rely on their teachers.

So here are five ways YOU can help your kids do better in school . . .

#1.) MAKE SURE THEY GET ENOUGH SLEEP. A recent study showed that missing just one hour of sleep a night can lower a child's cognitive ability by almost TWO YEARS. In other words, a NINTH-grader who gets six hours of sleep instead of seven will only perform at a SEVENTH-grade level the next day. So when they go to bed, make sure that they actually GO TO SLEEP, and that they're not playing games on the computer or watching TV. 62% of kids admit to using their cell phones in bed, and their parents have no idea.

#2.) DON'T WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT GRADES. Researchers at Columbia University found that it's better to concentrate on how HARD your kids are working, NOT how high their grades are. The study showed that if you praise kids for how much they study, they're more likely to grow up thinking anything's possible if they just try hard enough.

#3.) RESPECT THEIR LEARNING STYLE. Just because YOU studied in complete silence doesn't mean your kids have to. Children learn in different ways. So if they want to listen to their iPods and do their homework in bed, let them. But when they're using their computer, just make sure they REALLY ARE studying, not talking to their friends online.

#4.) HAVE DINNER TOGETHER. According to a recent study, kids get better grades if they sit down for dinner with their family on a regular basis. And they're also less likely to abuse drugs or develop an eating disorder.

#5.) DON'T STRESS THEM OUT. Fighting in front of your kids REALLY DOES affect them. Research shows that family-induced stress can lower a child's ability to learn for up to two days after the incident. So, arguing in front of your kids on a Wednesday night can affect how they do on FRIDAY'S test.

RULES ARE RULES

In Hatteras, North Carolina, a team of fishermen thought they had hit the big time after winning first place in the prestigious Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament. However, as they were salivating over their $1.2 MILLION DOLLAR prize money-- including a bonus for single-largest catch-- one of the judges discovered that one member of the team, Peter Wann, had not gotten his $30 North Carolina coastal recreational fishing license before their boat pushed off that day. Therefore, under the rules, the entire team was disqualified, and the runner-up, from Cape Carteret, N.C., got the money. Ouch!

PARENTS LEFT ME HANGIN'

Comedian Woody Allen used to tell a joke about being abondanded by his parents who "left no forwarding address." But that actually happened to Ken Anderson in Vancouver. When Ken was only 15, both his mother, Shirley Anderson, and his father just picked up and moved away with nary a word to their son. Now Ken's 46 and despite this, Shirly is actually suing him for parental support thanks to an archaic 1922 law in British Columbia that obligates adult children to support "dependent" parents! She's demanding $350 per month from Ken and his four siblings-- three of whom were at least 17 when the parents left and thus not considered "abandoned." A judge initially awarded the mother the money based on the law but the siblings are appealing.

HOW MUCH IS THAT PAY PAL

In Houston, Texas, 24-year-old Derek Lanphier got the surprise of his life when his bank balance turned negative to the tune of almost $880,000 after PayPal charged him almost a million dollars. Derek initially panicked after discovering a $3,000 purchase on his PayPal account. He called PayPal and his bank to report the fraud and to stop any further purchases he thought was part of a phishing attack of his account. But panic turned into disbelief when Lanphier saw the negative $888,871.91 balance. He finally started laughing and saved a screenshot of the amount in the Account Activity dashboard to show to his friends. The bank later promised to reverse the charges. Derek said he uses his PayPal account for iTunes puchases.
